Open House Food Preparation is Underway
We will be preparing Dolmades this Sunday following the fellowship meal.  These are labor-intensive and we need your help.  We need at least 15 people for this particular cooking session.  Please give us a hand if at all possible.  Thanks.

Parish Survey
We have received a few Parish Surveys back and the initial results are encouraging.  Our parishoners have some great ideas to share.

If you haven't completed yours, please do so as soon as you can.  If you did not get one or know of someone who needs one, you can e-mail Mike Press here and he will assist you.  Also, if you are interested in helping on the newly forming Parish Care Team, let Mike know.
